The document provides an overview of how the human brain works. It describes that the brain is made up of around 100 billion neurons that communicate via electrochemical signals. The brain is divided into sections that each control different functions - the lower brain controls basic instincts while the higher brain is involved in thinking. The cerebral cortex is folded and divided into four lobes (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal) that process sensory information, initiate movement, analyze information, and experience emotions.

This document discusses various aspects of personality, including definitions, components, development, and factors that influence personality. It provides definitions of personality from several psychologists and outlines the key components that make up human personality, including external appearance/behavior, inner self-awareness, and patterns of traits. The document also discusses personality development and lists several important factors that influence how personalities form, such as communication skills, appearance, manners, confidence, and emotional control.
The document discusses the brain and memory from multiple perspectives. It explains that memories are not stored in single locations in the brain, but rather are distributed throughout the brain via connections between regions. Recent neuroimaging studies have provided some evidence that specific brain areas may encode memories of individual people, though this remains an area of debate. Understanding how the brain forms and stores memories has practical applications for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injuries that impact memory.

We tell lies for many reasons: to avoid punishment, save face, get our own way, and spare others' feelings. Most people lie once a day to a few times every 10 minutes. While both men and women lie about the same amount, men tend to exaggerate achievements and earnings, while women minimize weight and age. January is reported to be the month with the most lying, perhaps due to broken New Year's resolutions and excuses to avoid winter weather. Famous lies throughout history include those by Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, and Bernie Madoff.
The document discusses etiquette and its importance in business success and personal relationships. It provides tips for a good first impression through firm handshakes, eye contact, posture, smiling, and business card exchange. Research shows over 50% of communication is non-verbal and impressions are formed within the first few seconds, so these soft skills can impact employability.
Liars often make too much or too little eye contact and tend to speak without contractions. They may show signs of discomfort like turning away, rapid blinking, or fidgeting. Liars also stutter or hesitate more when speaking, provide unnecessary details without being asked, and get defensive rather than going on the offensive like innocent people tend to do. Watch for inconsistent explanations, overemphasis on minor details, and frequent self-touching of the face, throat, or mouth from potential liars.
Remember, it’s never one gesture that detects a lie, some of these gestures however can have multiple meanings such as doubt, uncertainty and
exaggeration, therefore make sure you detect multiple body language gestures.
The Body Language Cards
This document discusses the importance of grooming and personal appearance for making a good first impression. It states that initial perceptions formed within three seconds are based 93% on appearance, body language, and tone of voice. Proper grooming involves keeping hair, nails, teeth, and attire clean, tidy and pleasant. The document provides tips for men and women on appropriate professional attire and accessories for interviews and work. It emphasizes that first impressions affect how people judge one's professionalism, sophistication, intelligence, and credibility.
You have watched 9 easy ways to catch a liar. There are 8 more useful ways to find out if a person is lying to you at: http://vkool.com/ways-to-catch-a-liar/. Read them now for your wisdom.
Easy ways to catch a liar that anyone should know to live wisely.
1. Watch For Eye Contact
Watching for eye contact is one of the easy ways to catch a liar. If people are lying to you, they will not make eye contact. Or, on the contrary; they sometimes make too much eye contact. These people may feel that they are being inspected by you, so they always look away from your eyes.
2. Watch For Contractions
Liars do not like using contractions. For example, a liar usually say “I did not take the money” instead of “I didn’t take the money”, or “I am a business man” instead of “I’m a business man”. They are not using contractions as they want to make sure that what they say is completely clear to you.
3. Watch For Body Language
Watching for body language is also one of the easy ways to catch a liar as people who are lying often use weird body language. They do not smile much, and usually have pitch changes in their voice as they are fidget while telling lie. Some liars touch their face, ears, nose, or play with what they are holding in their hands.
4. Watch For Additional Information
Liars are interested in providing extra information though they are not asked. They believe that if they embellish their stories with details, you will find them more reliable. Remember that the more elaborate a story is, the more inauthentic it is.
5. Watch For Contradictions
This is one of the easiest ways to catch a liar. You can compare what people say with their gestures and voice to guess if they are lying. If what they do does not fit what they say, then they are lying to you.
6. Watch For Defense
Liars are fond of getting defensive. They can do anything to distract your attention from themselves. You can easily realize this when the liars are trying to change the topic, or draw the conversation to a different direction.
7. Watch For Sweat
Watching for sweat is another easy way to catch a liar. The fact is that many people sweat more when they are telling lie. This has been studied by experts in behavior. These experts conclude that people sweat more when they are shy or nervous. Therefore, sweating and blushing, trembling, or difficulty in swallowing can be remarkable signs of a liar.
8. Watch For Eye Movements
If people are making up something, their eyes tend to move up, and to the right. They will also blink more rapidly or rub their eyes. Their eyelids also close longer in comparison to a normal blink.
9. Watch For Motivation
Normally, people will not tell lie without a reason. Therefore, you should ask yourself whether those people you are talking to have something to gain when they lie to you. If you cannot find a good reason, do not conclude that they are liars.
Medusa's Plight - The True Story of Medusa.pdfDeanAmory1
Medusa, daughter of an ancient Greek aristocrat, possessed not only exceptional beauty and elegance but also a sharp intellect. Her joyful, optimistic nature made her a delight to be around.
Selected as a priestess by Athena herself, Medusa flourished in the temple. Athena's fondness for her grew with each passing day. However, this fondness turned sour as Medusa attracted the admiration of common men, heroes, and even gods.
Athena wrestled with a gnawing jealousy that threatened to consume her. Unfortunately, one day, upon returning from Mount Olympus, she found her beloved temple desecrated. Poseidon, the powerful sea god, had violated its sanctity by forcing himself upon Medusa.
Blinded by rage and jealousy, Athena refused to hear Medusa's cries of innocence. Rejecting the girl's accusations of Poseidon's rape, she unleashed a violent curse upon the young woman, transforming her once-beautiful hair into a nest of vipers. A single glance from Medusa's petrified eyes would now turn any onlooker to stone.
Exiled to the desolate island of Sarpedon, Medusa faced years of solitude. When Perseus arrived, she clung to the hope that Athena had finally relented, sending him to reunite her with her family. But Perseus, on a different mission, tragically ended her life... and returned home, celebrated as a hero.
In Greek mythology, Medusa was the youngest and only mortal Gorgon sister. She was originally a beautiful woman, but was punished by Athena by having her hair turned into snakes after Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple. Her gaze could turn anyone who looked at her into stone. The hero Perseus was able to slay Medusa by using his shield to avoid looking directly at her, then cutting off her head while she slept. From her blood sprang the winged horse Pegasus and other monsters. Medusa's decapitated head remained an powerful weapon that could still turn enemies to stone.

Greek mythology is the body of myths and legends belonging to the ancient Greeks concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was part of ancient Greek religion. The myths explain the origins of the world and details of the lives and adventures of Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. Some of the major gods and figures discussed include Zeus, king of the gods; Poseidon, god of the sea; Hades, god of the underworld; and Medusa, a monster slain by the hero Perseus. The presentation provides descriptions and stories about these figures from Greek mythology.
Medusa was originally a beautiful woman, but was punished by the goddess Athena by transforming her into a monster with snakes for hair. Anyone who made eye contact with Medusa would immediately turn to stone. Perseus was sent by the king Polydectes to retrieve Medusa's head, knowing it was a deadly mission. With help from the gods, Perseus obtained tools to slay Medusa without looking at her directly. He found her sleeping, cut off her head using Athena's reflective shield, and returned successfully with the head to turn Polydectes to stone.
Medusa was originally a beautiful woman, but was punished by the goddess Athena by transforming her into a monster with snakes for hair. Anyone who made eye contact with Medusa would immediately turn to stone. Perseus was sent by King Polydectes to retrieve Medusa's head, and received help from various gods. He used his reflective shield to look at Medusa's reflection instead of directly at her, and severed her head, causing the winged horse Pegasus to emerge. Perseus returned and turned Polydectes to stone with Medusa's head.
The document summarizes the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus from Ovid's Metamorphoses. It tells how Echo, a nymph, was cursed by Hera to only be able to repeat the last words of others after she helped distract the goddess. Echo fell in love with the beautiful youth Narcissus but was rejected, causing her to waste away until only her voice remained. Narcissus also rejected other suitors and was made to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool, leading to his death. Both figures perish from unrequited love as a result of their hubris.

12. I will tell you a STORY
Once upon a time, a long time ago there
lived a beautiful maiden named Medusa.
Medusa lived in the city of Athens in a
country named Greece -- and although
there were many pretty girls in the city,
Medusa was considered the loveliest
13. Unfortunately, Medusa was very proud of
her beauty and thought or spoke of little
else. Each day she boasted of how pretty
she was and each day her boasts became
more outrageous
14. On Sunday, Medusa bragged to the
miller that her skin was more
beautiful than fresh fallen snow
15. On Monday, she told the cobbler
that her hair glowed brighter than
the sun.
16. On Tuesday, she commented to the
blacksmith’s son that her eyes were
greener than the Aegean Sea.
17. On Wednesday, she boasted to
everyone at the public gardens
that her lips were redder than
the reddest rose
18. When she wasn’t busy sharing
her thoughts about her beauty
with all who passed by, Medusa
would gaze lovingly at her
reflection in the mirror
19. She admired herself in her hand
mirror for an hour each morning
as she brushed her hair. She
admired herself in her darkened
window for an hour each evening
as she got ready for bed.
20. She even stopped to admire
herself in the well each
afternoon as she drew water for
her father's horses -- often
forgetting to fetch the water in
her distraction.
21. On and on Medusa went about
her beauty to anyone and
everyone who stopped long
enough to hear her -- until one
day when she made her first
visit to the Parthenon with her
friends
22. The Parthenon was the largest
temple to the goddess Athena in
all the land. It was decorated
with amazing sculptures and
paintings.
23. . Everyone who entered was awed
by the beauty of the place and
couldn’t help but think of how
grateful they were to Athena,
goddess of wisdom, for inspiring
them and for watching over their
city of Athens.
Everyone, that is, except Medusa.
24. When Medusa saw the sculptures,
she whispered that she would have
made a much better subject for the
sculptor than Athena had.
25. When Medusa saw the artwork, she
commented that the artist had done
a fine job considering the goddess's
thick eyebrows -- but imagine how
much more wonderful the painting
would be if it was of someone as
delicate as Medusa.
26. And when Medusa reached the
altar she sighed happily and said,
“My this is a beautiful temple. It is
a shame it was wasted on Athena
for I am so much prettier than she
is – perhaps some day people will
build an even grander temple to
my beauty
28. Whispers ran through all the people
in the temple who quickly began to
leave -- for everyone knew that
Athena enjoyed watching over the
people of Athens and feared what
might happen if the goddess had
overheard Medusa’s rash remarks
29. Before long the temple was empty
of everyone except Medusa, who
was so busy gazing proudly at her
reflection in the large bronze doors
that she hadn't noticed the swift
departure of everyone else
30. The image she was gazing at
wavered and suddenly, instead
of her own features, it was the
face of Athena that Medusa saw
reflected back at her
31. “Vain and foolish girl,” Athena
said angrily, “You think you are
prettier than I am! I doubt it to
be true, but even if it were --
there is more to life than beauty
alone. While others work and
play and learn, you do little but
boast and admire yourself
32. Medusa tried to point out that
her beauty was an inspiration to
those around her and that she
made their lives better by simply
looking so lovely, but Athena
silenced her with a frustrated
wave
33.
34. Nonsense,” Athena retorted,
“Beauty fades swiftly in all
mortals. It does not comfort the
sick, teach the unskilled or feed
the hungry. And by my powers,
your loveliness shall be stripped
away completely. Your fate
shall serve as a reminder to
others to control their pride
35. And with those words Medusa’s
face changed to that of a
hideous monster. Her hair
twisted and thickened into
horrible snakes that hissed and
fought each other atop her head
36. Medusa, for your pride this has
been done. Your face is now so
terrible to behold that the mere
sight of it will turn a man to
stone,” proclaimed the goddess,
“Even you, Medusa, should you
seek your reflection, shall turn
to rock the instant you see your
face
37. And with that, Athena sent
Medusa with her hair of snakes
to live with the blind monsters --
the gorgon sisters -- at the ends
of the earth, so that no
innocents would be accidentally
turned to stone at the sight of
her
